  • Minimizing trade-offs and maximizing synergies for a just bioeconomy transition

    Open AccessAnette Ruml, Cheng Chen et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2025Cited by: 1References: 10

    The transition to a bioeconomy holds promise for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and advancing sustainable development but also presents complex challenges. This perspectives article critically examines the environmental, social, and economic implications of shifting from fossil-based to bio-based resources, addressing key concerns such as land use competition, biodiversity loss, and social equity. Rising biomass demand poses sustainabili…

  • Large-scale acquisitions of communal land in the Global South

    Open AccessJorge A Rincón Barajas, Christoph Kubitza et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2024Cited by: 2References: 72

    This article conceptualises and empirically assesses the socioeconomic and environmental risks of large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) for communal lands in the Global South. These risks include the displacement of local communities due to the insufficient formal recognition of communal land and exclusive and corrupt negotiations with investors who frequently exploit the legal pluralism inherent in these tenure systems. Furthermore, LSLAs often …

  • Stronger Food and Nutrition Security Impacts from More Intense Project Participation

    Open AccessJonathan Steinke, Lemlem Teklegiorgis Habtemariam et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2023

    Rigorous experiments show that nutrition-sensitive intervention programs can contribute to improved food and nutrition security (FNS) of rural households in low-and middle-income countries. Targeted individuals may, however, choose to engage with the intervention package at different intensities. It is yet unclear to what extent individual participation in more interventions influences FNS outcomes. Positive links would justify efforts by develop…

  • Land markets, Property rights, and Deforestation

    Open AccessVijesh V Krishna, Christoph Kubitza et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2017Cited by: 12References: 7

    We examine the emergence of land markets and their effects on forest land appropriation by farm households in Jambi Province, Sumatra, using micro-level data covering land use and land transactions for a period of more than 20 years (1992–2015). Based on a theoretical model of land acquisition by a heterogeneous farming population, different hypotheses are developed and empirically tested. Farm households involved in forest land appropriation dif…
